Acid precipitation “Acid precipitation is very noxious to the environment and to the living organisms.” Anywhere you can find this statement but the question is “What people should do to avoid its origination?” For most scientists it had been an immense issue last few years. Its origination is always linked with human activities such as industrial activities. Rather than thinking of abolishing industrial activities, we should try to reduce them. In the first place “What is acid precipitation

separate and identify cations. This was done by completing a series of chemical reactions in a specific order to rule out or prove the existence of specific cations within an unknown solution. Methods used included acidity tests(litmus paper), and precipitation tests. The solution that my partner and I were given to test was unknown solution Q21. Through several tests, we were able to determine that NH4+(aq) (Group V), Pb2+(aq) (Group I), and Mn2+(aq) (Group III) were present in Q21. In order to identify

gas, which ascends into the atmosphere. Water vapor can condense as fog or mist, but most often it collects to form clouds. When clouds become saturated with water vapor, precipitation occurs. Water falls to the earth as a raindrop, snow and even hail, depending on the climate, season, and topography. Not all of the precipitation will reach the earth. Some will evaporate between the sky and the land and reenter the water cycle. Water that reaches the earth either runs across a land surface, falls

Major Water Scarcity in California And it’s Effect on the American South West This essay explains the lack of precipitation in South West America and its effects on California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. It also explores the numerous alternatives that could be used in order to solve this water crisis. The cause of the drought in California is the lack of snowfall in the Rocky Mountains, which caused the river to evaporate. As temperatures are rising, it causes water to evaporate

ice particle in the air and is caused by condensation. Precipitation occurs from clouds but not all precipitation is from all clouds, there is no precipitation without clouds. Clouds can absorb solar energy which means it helps to lessen the heat. Without clouds days would have been much warmer and nights much colder. Majority of clouds are found in troposphere. Clouds are composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid. The different types of clouds are cumulus, stratus

Airmass : Meaning and Characteristics “An air mass may be defined as a large body of air whose physical properties, especially temperature, moisture content, and lapse rate, are more or less uniform horizontally for hundreds of kilometres.” According to A N Strahler and A. H. Strahler: “a body of air in which the upward gradients of temperature and moisture are fairly uniform over a large area is known as an air mass.” * An air mass may be so extensive that it may cover a large portion

According to the forest inventory of AIDER, the forest in the community is typified as dry tropical forest. Dry tropical forest has low diversity of flora, where commonly the species are adapted to the droughts periods, with average heights of less than 10 meters. The distribution is like a savannah, in which the tree crown coverage is under 30 percent. The most dominant species are Algarrobo (Prosopis pallida), Faique (Acacia macracantha) and Zapote (Capparis scabrida), which are normally evergreen

Planet Trojan X is approximately 110,546,002 Miles from the sun. Trojan X is very much similar to desert regions on earth with some exceptions. Such as instead of there being climate region changes, the entire planet has the same climate. Since the entire planet has the same climate type there was not much pressure on choosing the location to settle. There were a few things that proved to be necessary though such as a reliable water source and good food source nearby. We had found a great water
